Details pane

Shortcuts and resources view

Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User's Guide
The Details pane extends the user interface features when working in the Computers,
Jobs, or Shortcuts panes.
When you select a computer in the Computers pane, the Details pane changes to
a Filters section (if you click a group icon) and displays the status of all jobs
assigned to the selected computer.
When you select a job icon in the Jobs pane, the Details pane displays the
information about the job to set up conditions, order tasks, and to add, modify, or
remove tasks.
When you select a computer or computer group in the Computers pane, the
Details pane displays the information about a computer, such as its IP address,
MAC address, and status.
When you select a batch file, you can click Modify to update the file.
When you select a hard disk image file (.IMG), the Details pane displays a
description of the image file and information about the included partitions.
When you click on the package files, the Details pane displays the title, description,
version, creation date, and platform of an .RIP file or Personality Package.
The Shortcut and Resources pane provides easy access to the computers and job
objects identified in the console and the software packages stored in the Deployment
Share. In the Shortcuts view, you can drag computers, computer groups, jobs, and job
folders to organize and access commonly-used console objects. In the Resources view,
you can identify and assign package files.
Click View > Shortcuts View to open the Shortcuts and Resources
pane. You can drag the jobs and computer icons to this pane. Click
Resources in the Shortcuts and Resources view, or click View >
Resources or CTRL+R to open a filtered list of packages on the
Deployment Share.
The Shortcuts view provides quick links to view and access computers, jobs and
packages. It can act as a palette of Deployment Solution icons that you can drag to
other working panes in the console, or as a storage to save commonly-used jobs and
computer icons.
The Resources view lets you see a filtered view of the package files — .MSI files, .RIPs,
image files, Personality Packages, and other resource packages — stored in folders in
the Deployment Share. From the Resources view, you can drag packages directly to
the computers in the Computers pane to deliver the software. This automatically
creates jobs in the System Jobs > Drag-n-Drop Jobs folder in the Jobs pane. The
Resources view lets you identify packages assigned to each job and assign those
packages to create new jobs.
